I’ve said this nearly every time it comes up.

People really don’t understand how much wealth Harvard has.

They have a long history of systematically buying storefronts in squares, leaving them to get derelict, devaluing the surrounding neighborhood property, and buying it all up, bulldozing and expanding. The whole area where the Bloomberg center is in Cambridge is a perfect example. That shit wasn’t a campus in 2003, it was houses.

They are by far the largest land owner of the Allston Brighton area of Boston. This land is by and large tax exempt.

Their endowment’s interest alone exceeds the value of their student’s tuition. In perpetuity. But where’s the fun in that?

There’s a kind of deep rabbit hole if you’re bored. 172 Lincoln St will probably get you going somewhere.

All this to say, when Trump tried to threaten them financially, they fed caviar to their dogs and carried on with their days.

Who said anything about shooting someone?

I said the sign oughta do.

It means they no longer believe the USD is stable.

China is a big reason the USD is the global reserve currency. And if they decide it’s not anymore, it’s pretty much not anymore.

A “solicitors will be shot on site” sign oughta do.

Why do I know this?

9 grand?

Bitch…

90, minimum.

Lemmy connect app lets you tag users. Super useful.

I usually tag belligerent people, and block them if I see them do it again

I’m pretty convinced that Lemmy’s politics board is thoroughly compromised. Constant deluge of posters intent on spreading a sense of doom and fear.

I tag them and never see them again.

Nearly 100% of people traveling domestically…?

Im taking your wife’s side.

Competition squeezes blood from a stone. There are very few world records that were set without intention.

To your side, you could argue that I am making your point. Perhaps some folks haven’t been thrust up to the plate to take a swing, and thus haven’t been tempered in competition. Also, it’s possible that knowing what the records are imposes psychological limitations. For example, Ewa Kawakami, at 9 years old, did three back to back 900s in xgames skateboarding vert recently. Tony hawk asked him how long after his first 720 did he land a 900. He said “the next day.”

I am still going with competition being requisite for peak form. There are exceptions, probably for stuff like Worlds Strongest Man, but something like sprinting, deadlifts, marathon, fastest playthrough of flight of the bumblebee, etc, all take dedication and competition to rise to the top

We’re giving the 9/11 guys $9B in missiles.

Trump wants housing prices to go up.

It’s not just the murders.

It’s the blatant flagrant boldface lies about what we have 27 different HD video angles of, and the slander and libel of the deceased’s names.

I would support Europe blocking the United States from competing in the Olympics at this point.

Let it persist beyond their assignment.

They should feel unwelcome everywhere. Forever.

Literally all of them.

He’s married to an Indian Hindu woman. MAGA isn’t okay with that.

They constantly call him a race mixer. And worse.

As far as I am concerned, every person or entity with a paid x account is actively participating in CSAM.

?

Maga hates Vance.

Im surprised we haven’t been uninvited altogether. Russia got snubbed for about as much.

Hold them in contempt.
